Ronnie Mann Faces Kenny Foster at Bellator 53 in a Featherweight Bout

Bellator 53 is still awaiting an official confirmation on a venue, a fight has been confirmed for the card as Ronnie Mann takes on Kenny Foster.

The fight was confirmed for the card to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the match-up with bout agreements issued for the October 8 fight.

It will likely be an emotional return to action in October for England’s Ronnie Mann, who was a part of the legendary Team Tompkins.

Shawn Tompkins‘ passing rattled everyone in the MMA world, but none more than the team of athletes he trained and helped develop over the years. Mann will get back in the Bellator cage with a heavy heart, but a mission to undoubtedly honor his trainer.
